Set in a small university town in the American Midwest, The Shape of Things centers on the lives of four young students who become emotionally and romantically involved with each other. A chance meeting between Evelyn, an analytical art student, and Adam, an introvert, soon becomes an intense relationship. Through Evelyn’s subtle persuasion and coaching, shy and principled Adam goes to extraordinary lengths to become the man that he thinks Evelyn wants him to be.
